Saturday is license-free fishing day in Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Don't have a license to fish in Florida's fresh waters??

Take advantage of the first of four license-free freshwater fishing days on Saturday. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says people of all ages can cast their lines into three million acres of lakes, ponds and reservoirs and 12,000 miles of fishable rivers, streams and canals.

This is the first of the four scheduled days because it coincides with a productive freshwater fishing period. The wildlife commission says many of Florida's recreational sport fishes move into the shallows to spawn during spring, making them more available for anglers to catch.
